Manik was made sit on the small table placed in the middle while all others gathered around him. First Nyonika came and applied haldi on him.

"Waise yeh haldi lagate kyun hai?" Manik asked Nyonika when she was applying haldi to him.

"So that tere bhi chehre da rang teri hone wali dulhan ke tarah khil jaye." Daadu answered him.

"Acha aisa hai kya?! Toh aur lagao and achhe se lagao." Manik said and was going to pull up his kurta when Nyonika held his hand and said "Hatt badmaash." while others laughed.

"Chalo jaldi rasam puri karo phir haldi leke Nandini ke ghar bhi jana hai." Nyonika said.

One by one everyone applied haldi on Manik's face. During all this, Cabir didn't miss to capture every expression of Manik's face be it disgust of the haldi or the laughs. He had also asked Ananya, a cousin of theirs to click pictures when Fab4 applies haldi.
